NAME
       ud - interactive LDAP Directory Server query program

SYNOPSIS
       ud [-Dv] [-s server] [-d debug-mask] [-l ldap-debug-mask] [-f file]

DESCRIPTION
       ud  is used to interogate a directory server via the Lightweight Direc‐
       tory Access Protocol (LDAP).

OPTIONS
       -s server Used to specify the name of an LDAP server to which ud should
		 connect.  If this flag is omitted, the value specified in the
		 ud configuration file is used.	 If no value is	 specified  in
		 the  configuration  file,  or the configuration file does not
		 exist, the name ldap is used.	Of course, it  is  up  to  the
		 system	 administrator	to make sure that the name ldap can be
		 resolved (presumably through the use of a CNAME or  A	record
		 in  the  DNS and the appropriate search path specified in the
		 resolver config file).

       -d debug-mask
		 Sets the ud debug mask to the value  specified.   Values  for
		 the mask can be dumped by using the -D flag.

       -f file	 Sets the configuration file to the name specified.

       -l ldap-debug-mask
		 Sets the LDAP debug mask to the value specified.

       -v	 Turns	on  verbose  output.  Also toggable via the ud verbose
		 command.

       -D	 Prints out a list of valid ud debug masks.

FILES
       /etc/openldap/ud.conf	     The ud configuration file.

SEE ALSO
       ud.conf(5), ldap.conf(5), ldap(3)

DIAGNOSTICS
       ud will try to be nice about error conditions, and in most cases prints
       a warm and fuzzy error message when it encounters a problem.  Sometimes
       the error will be unexpected, and in these cases, ud uses the ldap_per‐
       ror() routine to print an informative diagnostic.

BUGS
       Too numerous to mention.
